      51/ here's the top row in a 0.2 acre plot that I've been working on a for a few years (the whole thing continues downhill to the left). I think this was the first time I tilled it. I've pulled maybe 20+ tractor bucket loads of stones out of there. That plus compost...pic.twitter.com/PInHbRdznF

      Truth. You gotta pick your focus. Livestock need a lot of space, care, feed. Gardens get unruly FAST. Etc. I got 20-25 fruit trees, grape arbors, and huge berry patches and just those are a ton of work. Not to mention processing all the yield.

      55/ autists like me aside, people don't say what they mean they say things that exist in the same conceptual / mood cluster as the thing that they actually mean Someone thinks "I, a woman, have self worth". OK, fine. But then they SAY "women are just as strong as men".

      56/ Why do they say that thing, and not the thing that they actually mean? (a) bc most people are fuzzy thinkers (b) when people want to express things, they reach into the grab bag of preformatted strings that society has provided them with, and pick one semi randomly

      57/ so perhaps we've got a guy who does some homesteading and makes cider. He feels proud of what he's done and wants to express "this is a good life I've made for myself, and people should respect it". ok. fair enough. and we've got some OTHER guy who says ...

      58/ "if 1 home out of 10 ran a 1/2 acre garden, and 1 home out of 50 raised hogs at a semi-commercial scale, that would blah blah blah" the first guy hears this, through a noisy filter, and perceives it as "homesteading is cool" [ but that's not what the actual words were ]

      59/ so now our guy who homesteads and makes cider throws all in on "1 in 10 people should run farms in the suburbs". Not because he believes the claim. Not because he's even THOUGHT about the claim. But because the claim lives in the same bag as his emotional truth.

          62/ when the autist reveals that he does work hard, and has raised big gardens, and has split firewood, those words go unheard, unevaluated ... and our normie posts pictures of MUCH MUCH SMALLER gardens and MUCH MUCH SMALLER firewood, as evidence that the autist don't farm

          67/ It is a liquid that you mix w water at like 1:50 and spray w a backpack sprayer, or a riding mower tow behind sprayer. It blocks an enzyme that broadleaf plants need to live, while doing no harm to narrowleaf (i.e. grasses).
